  • Lists posts from a category in menu
  • Supports tags and custom taxonomies
  • Supports pages and custom post types
  • Full Site Editing support with Gutenberg
  • Replace category link with posts
  • Configurable max number of posts
  • Sort by Title, Date, or Menu Order
  • Customizable menu item titles via wildcards
